Scrap dealers show up once a month at Faulkner Hyundai on the northeast side of Philadelphia and haul away the worn-out parts from the service department.

But unlike most dealerships, Faulkner Hyundai doesn't add the $500 or so it gets for the parts to its bottom line.

Instead, it puts the cash into a kitty that helps feed and entertain the store's roughly 45 employees.

Scrap Inconel Alloy Recycling

What is Inconel?

Inconel is a brand name given to a large group of nickel-chromium
super-alloys, created by Special Metals Co. These metals enjoy the job
descriptions that often involve the most corrosion-filled,
temperature-extreme tasks imaginable; were talking about environments
that are way too degrading for stainless steel to hold up in. 
Because Inconel is made up of mostly Nickel and Chromium, it
is fairly dense; about as dense/heavy as copper.  But of course, its
worth much more then Copper.

Silver from keyboards.

Here's an interesting idea from bob the plumber regarding the silver foils in old keyboards..

Cupellation Method

Silver ore and scrap silver have to go through a refining process in order for the pure silver to be separated from the dross. Cupellation is when it is heated to 1,200 degrees Celsius in a special furnace. First though, the silver scrap or ore is placed in a solution of 30 percent to 35 percent nitric acid. It takes an 40 grams of nitric acid to dissolve 28 grams of silver. 

The solution produces a white powder, silver chloride. When sodium carbonate is mixed with the silver chloride and placed in a cupellation furnace, the heat causes a chemical reaction and makes table salt and silver. The process works without the addition of sodium carbonate as well but then the heat releases poisonous chlorine gas as it produces the pure silver.
